The problem has started around 3+years ago -a spot of crack was seen thought regular winter break of skin and didn't gave much thought- later it spread over a little on my lower lip *consulted homeopathy Dr - nothing happened 6 mths - now my lips are in pretty bad shape spread all over the lips severe cuts even unable to drink water (was in a state of self harm "depression ") - when it became severe (oozing blood pockets, cuts, peeling skin) consulted skin dr. -suggested Allegra 180mg , Elocon-mometasone furoate cream, after applying continually for 3months or so visible cuts have came down but, deep itchy feeling never left -consulted dr. Several times but medication never changed as soon as i stop applying cream it reappears -consulted another homeopathy dr. Used 1year of medication it came down a little as in now I can miss application of cream for 4 to 5 days it reappears if I don't apply elocon cream -I want to know is there is cure for me or I have to apply cream forever!!
